The Moment Finder
After nearly twenty years of roaming the country in his Arctic Fox 990, Matt Nelson doesn’t have to go looking for incredible moments. They find him.
Welcome to the 2026 Sun Trek Buyers Guide with four campers, the 800, 700, 600 and 550, classified by price, weight, and capacities.
For Behind the Shot Part 3, we are featuring photos and stories captured at the Valley of the Gods in Utah, White Sands National Park in New Mexico, the Yuba River in California, and many more destinations.
An elephant hauls a vintage truck camper. Blue whales carry hard-sides to depths they have never seen before. Scott Wilhelm paints one-of-a-kind pieces that will make you scratch your head and uncontrollably smile. Hide your truck camper before one of these CamPets carries it away.
During our visit to @northstarcamper in Cedar Falls, Iowa, we noticed something unusual. A lot of the people building the campers had been there for over a decade. So we started asking, “How long have you worked at Northstar?”
25 years. 37 years. 38 years.
Those aren’t numbers you hear every day. Seeing this many longtime employees under one roof says something about the company and the people behind it.
Under third-generation President Rex Willett, Northstar has remained a family-run company where many employees have spent decades building campers together.
Whatever the secret is, it’s clear that many of the folks at Northstar have found a place worth sticking around for.

When @palominooverlanding introduced the HS-750, they set out to build a lightweight, hard side truck camper that checked the boxes most buyers wanted without requiring a one-ton dually. The result was a compact camper with a surprisingly functional floor plan, a wet bath, and a 2,000-pound dry weight.
Step inside the Palomino HS-750 and see why this hard-side remains a popular choice for truck campers looking to balance capability and comfort for under $30,000.
Would you choose a lightweight hard-side like the HS-750, or do you prefer a larger camper with more room?

Did you know @capricamper builds full walk-on roofs? That might sound like a small detail until you actually need it.
Maintenance: Clean your solar panels, inspect seals, and check for damage after squeezing down a tight backroad.
Service: Need to repair a fan, air conditioner, roof rack, or solar panel? A walk-on roof makes the job far safer and easier.
Rooftop Hangout: Depending on your roof size and comfort level, the top of your camper can become the best seat at camp for sunsets, stargazing, and morning coffee.
Is a walk-on roof a feature that you consider when buying a truck camper?
